Saberes-fazeres socioambientais fronteiriços: sentipensando experiências territoriais

Abstract

This thesis focuses on the production of knowledge from the territory, as possibilities for dialogues of knowledge between subjects in the society-nature relationship. In this sense, the research theme is the co-production of know-how in socio-environmental and territorial experiences based on community relations. The place for the research-action-reflection is the Centro de Integração Madre Maria Domênica – CIMMAD, Padre Ulrico neighborhood in Francisco Beltrão – PR/BR, unfolding into a network of subjects and institutions. In this sense, the decolonial perspective is the epistemic path of construction of the thesis for analysis and critical/reflective discussion, in a movement of resignification of local histories, of valorization of cultural identities and know-how of the subjects. The methodological approach is Participatory-Action-Research (IAP) considering the research-action-reflection movements from the place and everyday territorialities. The development of this thesis is justified by the emergence of research and understandings about the issues involving the historical-temporal processes that constitute and configure the production of locally based knowledge. As well as the importance of sensitivities about place, the revival of territorialities, self-management and autonomy, as paths to social transformation. The objective was to analyze know-how in socio-environmental dynamics, thinking of the territory as a place of life, in processes of resistance. In this way, this thesis is divided into five chapters, in which we seek to reflect critically and dialogically on the proposed theme, considering the interrelations between society-nature, territoriality-place and territory as a place of life, based on the living sensibilities of the subjects with whom we work, we seek to perceive the contributions in socio-environmental experiences to the strengthening of localized popular sciences. In this journey through the IAP, we concluded that border socio-environmental know-how linked to territorial experiences lead to processes of local resistance and that the IAP acts to co-produce knowledge, linked to everyday territorialities, to generate local solutions.
